When bell peppers are in season and piled high on the farmers market tables, I’m always looking for new excuses to buy them.  The colors are so beautiful and make any dish you make with them just shine.  This little appetizer is no exception.

1/2 of a large green pepper
1/2 of a large sweet red pepper
1/2 of a large yellow pepper
1/2 of a large orange pepper
1 C of Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
2 T ripe olive, chopped
1/2 t red pepper flakes

Allow the broiler to preheat while preparing the appetizers.
Cut each pepper half into 9 strips making 36 strips in all.
Place the peppers skin side down on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet.
Sprinkle the cheese over the all the peppers.
Place the olives over the cheese on each pepper strip.
Sprinkle on the red pepper flakes.
Broil 6 inches from the heat for 5 minutes or until the peppers are crisp tender and the cheese has melted.

Makes 36 appetizers
